A LITTLE BIT FROM ST. PAUL
SWEDISH MALE CHORUS.
The annual banquet of the St. Paul
Swedish Male Chorus was held at the
St. Paul Hotel, Sunday afternoon, May
24, in honor of our associate members
taken in during the year and also many
friends. The banquet was very success-ful
due to the fact of the fine arrange-ments
made by the committee in behalf
of the food served and of the fine pro-gram.
The toastmaster for the occasion was
one of our associate members, the
Sheriff of Ramsey County, Thomas
Gibbons, who made a masterful job
with his Irish brogue and also a little
Swedish wherever it fitted in. The
Male Chorus was highly praised by the
associate members for the magnificent
work and progress done during the
year in behalf of American and Swed-ish
singing. We were very fortunate
to have with us as guest soloist Miss
Violet Gould, one of our autstanding
sopranos, who rendered us several
numbers for the occasion and to every-ones
satisfaction.
The Male Chorus appeared several
times during the afternoon under the
direction of our assistant director,
Aaron Carlson. The St. Paul Swedish
Male Chorus feels very proud of a ten
year record of an associate member-ship
roll of one hundred or more mem-bers
every year. The associate mem-bership
can only be retained by good
fellowship and harmony amongst true
singers.
Gustaf C. Holmstrom.
ETT HJARTLIGT TACK!
Fran en gammal sangarbroder (84 ar)
Hav tack du friska glada sangarskara
For toner som ger genljud i mitt brost.
Ack, om jag kunde stads nar eder vara
Och famnas av er himmelskt skona
rost,
Da ville hjartat haftigare sla
Nar gamla hyddan sail fick lyssna pa.
Nog minns jag an de ljusa, salla dagar,
Da jag som sangare i leden stod.
Jag sorjer djupt, tillika som jag klagar,
Aren tatt min kraft — men inte an
mitt mod.
Jag vill sta i sluten ring annu.
Aldern snaser: Du ar for gammal du.
Ni sangarbroder, an i unga aren,
Sla trogen vakt kring sangarfanan ni.
Er rost ar klar som solens glans om
varen.
Ej lyrans strangar vardslost skotta bli.
Da sangen skyddar val emot forfall.
Glatt lyssnar vi, sa snart som vi far
kail.
George B. Nelson.
